The first time I visited Disneyland Paris as a vegetarian was in 2015. Although I never went hungry, I did notice there weren't many meat-free options in the parks and only a few in the Disney Village.
Before my most recent trip in 2019, I did a lot of research into where to eat. In our party of four, three of us are vegetarian, so I wanted to make sure we went to places that offered more than just a plate of chips or a cheese pizza.
If you're a vegetarian or are looking for some meat-free options for your next trip, these are (in my humble opinion) the best restaurants in Disneyland Paris for vegetarians.
Agrabah Café
This Aladdin-themed restaurant is located in the Disneyland Park, offering an all-you-can-eat Moroccon and Middle-Eastern buffet. We really enjoyed it here. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the food was incredible. My grainy pictures don't do it justice! I filled up on hummus, couscous, lentils, spiced potatoes, green beans, and falafel. The dessert selection was also pretty good.
The Agrabah Café is included on the standard half-board meal plan which we received free as part of a special offer when we booked our Hotel and Park tickets. Otherwise, it's €34.99 per adult and €17.99 per child*. Reservations are recommended and can be made up to 2 months before your visit.
Plaza Gardens
This beautiful Victorian restaurant is located in the central plaza at the end of Main Street. It actually reminded me of Crystal Palace in Walt Disney World Florida. We visited in the afternoon for a late lunch/early dinner, but apparently they also do a character breakfast in the morning.
The buffet has a wide variety of food. I've seen it described as "French and international cuisine." Plenty of salad, cheese, potatoes, vegetables, and pizza. It's the kind of place I'd recommend going if you have a mixture of vegetarians and meat-eaters in your party because there's something for everyone. Make sure you save room for dessert because the choice is huge!
Plaza Gardens is one of the more popular restaurants in Disneyland Paris, so reservations are highly recommended. We used our free half-board meal plan to eat here, but if you're paying out of pocket it's €34.99 per adult and €17.99 per child*.
Inventions
This isn't strictly aimed at vegetarians, but I couldn't write a guide to the best restaurants in Disneyland Paris without mentioning Inventions!
There are only four character dining experiences in Disneyland Paris:
- Plaza Gardens (characters appear at breakfast only)
- Café Mickey (located in the Disney Village)
- Auberge de Cendrillon
- Inventions
Inventions is located in the Disneyland Hotel (the big pink building at the entrance to Disneyland Park). You can meet characters such as Mickey, Minnie, Pluto and Goofy as you tuck-in to a delicious buffet. It's expensive at €69 per adult and €39 per child*, but I really enjoyed the interaction with the characters and think it's a perfect way to celebrate a special occasion.
Character dining is extremely popular, so if you don't have a reservation you risk being disappointed. You can reserve your table up to 2 months before your visit by calling the Dining Reservation Service (check the Disneyland Paris website for their phone number).
Alternatively, if you visit this website they have instructions on how you can book online (although please note this service is a trial and may be withdrawn at any time).
Earl of Sandwich (Disney Village)
This is a great option if you're looking for somewhere to eat on a budget. Earl of Sandwich is located right at the far end of the Disney Village. If you get a table upstairs you also have a lovely view of the lake and hot air balloon.
Earl of Sandwich are mostly known for their toasted sandwiches, however they also serve other food like soup, salad, and potato wedges.
My recommendations:
- The "Veggie" toasted sandwich (add avocado for €1 extra!)
- Tomato soup (so thick and creamy)
- Potato wedges
- Mac 'n' Cheese (available in the evenings)
Although there isn't a huge choice for vegetarians, the portions are a decent size, and it's one of the few places you can get a delicious and filling meal for less than €10. Look out for discount vouchers which can get you 15% off (we had one included with our hotel booking).

Annette's Diner (Disney Village)
I debated whether or not to add Annette's to this list. We really enjoyed the food here, but the service was painfully slow and we had to queue outside in the cold for almost 30-minutes before we could even get inside the door.
Annette's is a 50's style American diner, where the servers deliver your food wearing roller skates! The menu is mostly burgers, fries, and milkshakes. They have two veggie burgers on offer; a fake-meat "soya" burger and a tofu veggie burger. I had the tofu burger but I had a bite of my sister's soya burger to compare.
I really enjoyed my tofu burger, however, my other sister was disappointed to find it was made with two flat mushrooms instead of a bread bun. If you prefer something that tastes "meaty" then I'd recommend trying the soya burger.
We also ordered some of the hash brown potato sticks and a portion of onion rings (both were delicious). In true American style, the portions are HUGE. We ended up sharing two desserts between the four of us because we were so full.
Like most of the restaurants in Disneyland Paris, Annette's isn't cheap. We stuck to tap water to try and keep the cost down (otherwise it was €4 for a coke!) but our bill still came to over €100.
